On the way out are the days of big oil and coal fat cats running ruining the energy policy of our  great nation.

Putting profit above all else, these clowns have dirtied our nation’s air and water and have stood in the way of energy and fuel-related progress for decades.

With $62.2 billion in the latest version of the Economic Stimulus Package going to environmental initiatives, said fat cats will surely live a comfortable existence as they ease into their “golden years”, but the new energy czars will be leading the way deriving energy and fuel from such sources as; wind, solar, waves, algae, cellulosic ethanol, and much more…

…Leading our great nation to a clean, energy independent future!

The Environmental Leader reports that new green initiatives are changing the Great White Way.

The Broadway theater community has outlined a series of goals as part of a new environmental initiative. “Broadway Goes Green” hopes to reduce Broadway’s carbon footprint, adopt environmentally sustainable practices and promote environmental awareness in the creation and presentation of Broadway shows.

The new Broadway Goes Green website serves as a repository for all of the green initiatives undertaken by the theatre community in New York City. These include little things that we have recommended on our site, like replacing disposable mugs and turning off lights and big things like replacing the marquee lights that mark the top spots in the theatre district and encouraging purchase of carbon offsets for touring companies.
